a non-political climate change thread

[dflett68]

No doubt. "Appeal more to the center"? So what does that mean? "White" people - since they are the majority? "Straight" people? Or perhaps that Seattle and Portland populations (large group think gatherings) should have more power over what is happening in Colville and smaller communities? So many problems with mob/majority rule.

i don't think of the center as a demographic. i think of it as the stuff that we share, the common ground. there's still plenty enough of it to base a working society on and it no longer gets addressed or celebrated anywhere along the spectrum of our political system or the media structures feeding off of it.

I meant to to quote this actually "decide elections by the popular vote"

The popular vote would silence a huge number of good hard working citizens that still and should have a voice
Ain’t the USA for nuthin

You know, I think that might be a fine note to close on, given how far off topic this has wandered.
